THE POSTAL ALTELEGRAPH Bill.

THE POSTAL LTELEGRAPH BILL.
The new postal telegraph bill is interesting.
1t provides for the establishment of postal
telegraph system by contracting for the per-
formance of the service with existing tele-
graph companies. The government is to
furnish the Offices and make provision for
selling stamps to cover the charges. The
schedule of rates is fixed at 20 cents for
twenty words, where the distance of trans
mission is 1 200 miles, and 5 cents for every
additional $50 miles; provided, however, that
no charge for twenty words or less shall be
more than so cents. Night rates are fixed at
Is cents for 1000 miles or under. The press
rates are fixed at not exceeding 35 cents for
each 100 words sent at night and rs cents
during the day, and at the same pro rata rate
for each word in excess of 100. "Drop cop
ies' are not to exceed % cents per 100 words
at night and so cents during the day. The
postmaster general is to retain cents from
the charges on each message, and pay over
the remainder to the company full COM
pensat1on for its services. At the same time
the companies may maintain their own offices
outside the postoffices for the transmission
OF messages at their own rates The post
master general is to make contracts with
companies only after the issue of sealed pro-
posals, and he is to contract with the com
pany whose terms are deemed most favorable,
the contract to be made for the term of five
years with the privilege of extending it for
another five years. In the meantime the
postmaster general is authorized to advertise
for sealed proposals to sell existing lines and
franchises to the government, and to report
results to congress.
This is comprehensive scheme. The pro-
posed rates are certainly high enough, but
the telegraph companies will not think them
too high It is probable that some kind of
postal telegraph service will soon be open to
the people of this country. In England they
have long had one, and it has been a great
convenience.

THE SOLDIERS AT DINNER.

About the Boys in Blue.

Private DalzeI1 Writes to the Children
About the Boys in Blue.
cleveland Leader.l
Would you like to see the soldiers at din
ner in their eampl They are called Boys in
Blue, for their coats and pantaloons are
bright blue and so are their caps. They all
dress just alike. There are thousands of
them Did you ever see ten thousand
big, grown-up boys in field togethers I
have seen more than that take dinner in
camp. They keep their caps on their heads
while they eat They sit on the green grass.
They have table to eat off. You see no
tablecloths there. Their cups are made of
tin and SO are their plates. They have no
saucers and most of them use no knives of
forks. They use their fingers and pieces of
boards to eat with.
Is not that queer?
Look on their plates. There you see on
each place piece of fat pork with not bit
of lean and four spconfals of beans, and
four or five white crackers as big your
saucers. These crackers are hard as a rock,
but the boys have strong, sharp teeth. Look
in their tin cups. They are full of hot,
black coffee, without any milk. Sometimes
they have sugar to put in, but no milk.
They have no cows in the army to give milk.
They kill and eat all the COWS they can get.
They do not always have such good din
ner That one was nice 4th of July dinner.
Sometimes they have had no plates cups,
and nothing to eat but hard tack, which they
had in their pockets, and this they had to
eat as they marched along the road, for the
man who was their master would not let
them stop long enough to get dinner.
One day they marched thirty miles and
had not bite to eat. They were awful hun
cry, and some of them said bad words. Some
of them found some grains of corn which the
horses had left, and they cracked that with
their teeth. They said it made good dinner
Another time they were going along very
hungry and found patch of turnips
and pulled them all up and ate them
raw. Many times they went to bed on the
cold snow in winter without any supper.
Soldiers have no houses. They sleep on
blankets out of doors every night, and when
they get cold they get boards OF rails and
set them on fire to get warm. They live out
of doors just like pigs and cows. Sometimes
it makes them sick, and 100000 of them got
cold and died. Their fathers and mothers
| did not see them-they were so far off. You
know they all had guns and had to fight for you
and the flag. Many times they were in bat
tie when the guns were shooting all day and
all night and had not bite to eat So, you
see, they had hard time Thousands OF
them got killed and needed no more dinners

Sneezing Catarrh.

The distressing sneeze. sneeze. sneeze, the acrid
watery discharges from the eyes and nose, the
painful Inflammation extending to the throat. the
swelling of thu mucous lining, causing choking
sensations, cough, ringing noises in the head and
splitting headaches-how familiar these symptoms
to thousands who suffer periodically from head
colds or influenza and who live ignorance of the
fact that single application of Sanford's Radical
Cure for Catarrh will afford instantaneous relief
But this treatment in of simple Catarrh
gives but faint idea of what this remedy will do
in the chronic forms, where the breathing is OBJ
structed by choking, putrid mucous accumulations,
the hearing affected smell and taste gone, throat
liberated and hacking cough gradually fastening
itself upon the debftated system. Then it is that
the marvellous curative power of Sanford's Radical
Cure manifests itself in instantaneous and grateful
relief. Cure begirs from the first application. 1t
is rapid, radical. permanent, economical, safe.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one bottle
of the Radical Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent and
the Improved Inhaler.

Naturalist Clark of Canada says the bees
sting is by no means made for stinging only,
but is used in doing the artistic cell work,
capping the comb, and infusing the formic
acid, by means of which honey receives its
keeping qualities. The sting is really skill
fully contrived little trowel, with which the
bee finishes off and caps the cells when they
are filled brimful of honey. This explains
why honey extracted before it is capped over
does not keep well. The formic acid has not
been injected into it.

The returns of the foreign trade of this
country for last year show that our exports
of merchandise exceeded those of the previ-
Gus year by more than twenty-five millions
of dollars, and that our imports exceeded
those of 1888 by more than seventy-fve mil
lions. Our exports of merchandise for last
year exceeded our imports by nearly fifty
millions of dollars. Much more than half
of that excess occurred, however, during the
last month of the year. In the year 1885 the
excess of exports over imports was more than
one hundred millions. The imports of gold
for the year exceeded the exports by about
half million of dollars, SO that practically
the country has taken back within the past
half year all the gold sent abroad during the
first half. The silver movement during the
year has been smaller than usual. The ex-
port movement exceeded the import move
ment by about 81, 800, ,000

The National Divorce Reform league prides
itself on having done good work during the
last year. Among other encouraging facts
cleaned from the annual report are these:
Five national religious bodies have, within
the year, memorialized congress and the pres
ident on the subject of divorce reform in the
territories; an appropriation by congress for
collecting statistics on the subject of mar
riage and divorce, which passed the senate
last session, seems likely to become law this
session; Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, New York and New Jersey
have reformed their divorce laws or taken other
important legislative action in the matter.
In Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania
and Ohio the governors have urged reform.
As an indication of what can be done by agi-
tation and persistence, it is noteworthy that
in Vermont, Mr.. Dike's first field of labor, the
number of divorces, which in 1884 was 200,
in 1885 was but 95.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Jan. 23.-The city

1t is safe TO say some good white man
will be named, by those most interested,
for Mayor, and little opposition will come
from the negroes, who have very large
vote IN the CITY. The present Mayor,
Hon. George W. Walker, is quite young
man, and is very popular with all classes
Of citizens. IL is not known whether or
not he desires a reelection, and IL will

men that God has ever called to the min
istry, one OF the largest hearted and
most Catholic minds that ever donned
the vestments of the Catholic priesthood,
one OF the most fearless champions that
ireland has ever given to the cause OF
human liberty, and tor what? For sup
porting this movement in Ireland, which
meant to grasp robber landlordism by
supporting what Cardinal Slmeoni
called, and what | am proud to call Irish
revolution.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN ARCHBISHOP.
"Let there be no mistake aboSS the
origin of the hostility to our beloved
friends. Had he been engaged in prais
ing England or defending landlordism in
1882 he might be to-day Archbishop Of
New York. Father McGlynn has done
what the bishops and priests in
ireland have done in defiance
OF this same Cardinals injunctons.
He is awarded punishment which the
Propaganda would have meted out to
the Father McGlyEns Of Ireland. 1t is
absurd to believe that Father McGlynn
would leave the church to take the
stump, but he claims and, l think
rightly so, the right to think for himself
in political matters.
URGED TO GO TO ROME.
"Dr. McGlynn does not force his Views
on any person on this continent or in his
church, but until they are declared by the
head OF the church as contrary to the
Catholic faith, DR.. llcGlynn tells me he
will not retract these doctrines. Cheers. |
sincerely hope DR.. McGlynn Will go to
Rome, there to defend the justice and eX.
pediency Of these doctrines, and while l
DO not question the courage Of DR.. Nc
Glynn, must say that those who advise
him not to go to Rome, no matter now
good may be their intentions or objects,
are constantly giving cowardly advice.
1t is the duty OF the champion of any
cause, no matter what the risk to himself,
to stand up for justice and truth.
A FAIR HEARING.
81 am certain that Pope Leo will give
DR.. McGlynn fair hearing, and if he
could only know what DR.. McGlynn has
done here in New York to succor The poor
and put down the attacks of atheism on
religion and to show that Catholicism is
the religion OF the poor and champion OF
the oppressed; and if he shows to the
Pope what good he has done, believe
that the Sovereign Pontitf will do for him
what he did for Bishop Walsh and DR..
McNulty in defiance OF all the English
agents in the Eternal City"

Assembly No 1887 was held this after
noon, at which the two first bodies, with

agents for large clothing houses in dis
trIbuting work to tailors, had been ad-
mitted into the knights OF Labor,
forming Local Assembly No.

OF the journeymen, which were disre-
garded, that journeymen have been fought
bitterly within the order by the boss tail
ors, who won at every point, and that
when the men were organized in their
protective assembly wOrkmen could
make 800 to $50 per week who were now
glad 10 get so.
